Nigel is Drew Carey's boss at Winfred-Lauder after the first season, replacing Mr. Gerald Bell (voiced and played by Kevin Pollak) who actually only appeared in on episode in Season 1. English, crude, boisterous and offensive, he was also a cocaine addict before he was forced to go into rehab. For some time, he and Drew were in a same-sex marriage (technically a civil union) in order for Mr. Wick to get his Green Card and Drew to get his job back. When he first appeared on stage in guest episodes in the last two seasons he was greeted with thunderous applause. Wick always had unusual methods of firing employees (and nearly always fired someone named "Johnson"). He is almost always referred to as "Mr. Wick," and his first name is rarely used.

Mr. Wick was shot in the crotch with a crossbow and had to have one of his testicles removed (a gag that was referred to for the rest of the series). Wick also lost a toe and a nipple in a fox hunt that went terribly wrong.
